consulate in benghazi, libya. the attackers were muslim protesters apparently angry about an internet film produced in the united states that rid kulz the prophet muhammad. also among the four killed was sean smith, a foreign service information officer. the other two americans have not yet been identified because the state department is still notifying their families. cbs news national security correspondent david martin has been looking into all this at the pentagon. david? >> scott, good morning. u.s. officials do not believe these killings were the work of that mob that was demonstrating at the u.s. consulate. u.s. officials believe that within that mob, there were heavily armed militants who were, if you will, using the demonstration as a cover to get into that consulate and then take as much revenge as they could on americans. now, whether they were seeking revenge for this anti-muslim video or whether they were simply trying to kill americans on the anniversary of 9/11 is still unclear. >> david, thank you.

elizabeth palmer is in benghazi this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. well it's a quiet morning in benghazi but that's an uneasy quiet after this citizens protest against the parra military overnight turned into a violent showdown. it started as a simple protest. the people of benghazi coming together to send a message to the armed groups who control their city, and who attacked america's consulate ten days ago killing ambassador chris stevens. the message is we had enough. overhead libya's military showed support for the crowd. things remained peaceful until after dark when core groups of protesters decided to enforce their message. they besieged several of the militia bases that dot the city and pushed them out. then they got into their cars and headed out to the suburbs to the main parra military base and that's when things got ugly. in the case of forced entry, looting and the militia fighters melting away into the night there was shooting in all directions. there were casualties, that much is clear but we still don't know how many were wounded or k

things are popping up in places like benghazi, yemen, tunisia and they're not al qaeda but they're reading from the al qaeda narrative. they are being influenced by people who are formerly influential extremists in al qaeda. the actual truth is the picture isn't that clear, but we can piece it together. and that's not satisfying to people who are used to saying, you can attach this attack to that group. >> and how much communication and cooperation are there between the militias and the groups? >> that's a developing picture. i mean, they are still finding their way to whatever ultimate form they're going to have. and i think one of the reasons you're seeing all of these groups reading from the al qaeda narrative no longer calling themselves al qaeda is because they realize that makes them radioactive for things like fundraising. the other thing in washington is everybody said you said this on monday, you said it on tuesday then you changed it to this on wednesday. why are you not telling us the truth? the simple fact is if you've ever worked with classified intelligence and fast moving ev
